Goal Champions +================= + +Things get done in OpenStack when a group of people work together +toward a shared goal. In order to do that, one or more people in the +group need to step up and coordinate the group, keep track of +progress, call for and chair regular meetings, and publish status +updates. PTLs do this work for project teams, leaders do it for +various cross-project working groups and SIGs, and champions do it to +help us complete :ref:`release-cycle-goals` over a cycle. + +The work of those champions is essential to the success of OpenStack, +and yet it is often challenging to find volunteers for those +positions. Contributing as a goal champion takes time (several hours +per week), and that commitment needs to be properly recognized and +celebrated. + +Volunteers for this role will make a direct impact on the productivity +of others, become respected leaders in OpenStack community, build +influence among their peers, and make great candidates for future +elected leadership positions in OpenStack. + +If you are interested in helping with community goals, contact the TC +sponsor for this item (dhellmann).
